Michael and I had a personal relationship for about 4 years. Every minute spent with him was special from cooking, playing scrabble, dancing in my living room, sitting on the back patio smoking a cigar to vacation trips. I often laughed until I cried. He got me and I him. I subsequently moved to Oregon and lost touch, something I always regretted.
I loved you Michael and a part of my heart always will. We will meet again soon

Sorry to hear this news. Mike was a great character in the commercial real estate industry. He was straight forward to a fault.....his brain was always going 100 mph. I have a great memory of him at my house on the border. Fun stuff. A great veteran. RIP Mike

I knew Mike in his retirement when he was Chairman of Pima County Republican Club. He was the kindest man you could ever hope to meet. He chaired the club with great aplomb, was always dependable, and treated everyone with respect. I missed him when he retired from chairmanship, and am so sorry to hear of his passing. I send my sincere condolences to his family and loved ones. Sherrylyn Young

To Mike's family & friends, I am very sorry to learn that Mike is gone. I lost touch with Mike some years ago. He was at my wedding reception in March of 1987. I found two photographs in my album that I copied with my cell phone camera. I enjoyed knowing Mike for the years that we were in contact, particularly in the Civitan Club we both belonged to. He was a fellow real estate broker. Vaya con dios, mi amigo, Miguelito.
